You may not have heard of Judge D before, but after you hear his sophomore release “No Compromize”, you’ll be telling everyone you know to look out for this cat. The CD is a perfect audio backdrop for the cover, as Judge D stands in front of what looks like an army of state police ready to shut him down. The back of the CD cover, shows the millions who stand behind him, ready to ride for the cause.

It may sound like just another loud, rock and roll party going on, but if you listen closely, you might hear the revolution behind the beats. There is a strong message in the music, and if you get it, you’re with it! This one is for the b-boys, metal heads, and music lovers of all tribes! It doesn’t hurt that Judge D represents his tribe as well, that of course being Navajo and Cherokee. He calls on all to hear his message and only the deaf will ignore it from here on.

Judge D gets some help from some of his Suburban Noize labelmates and friends, as we get guest spots from Daddy X, Tech N9ne, D-Loc, Big B, who is getting major these days with his spots on the new show "Inked" on A&E, and many more. Standout cuts on this one, imho, are "Voicez", "Powertrippin", and the ill intro "No Compromize".
